Chapter 357 Consort Fucha
The group sped along, the wind whistling past, the thunderous sound of hooves echoing throughout the hunting grounds.
Hongchang was extremely anxious and kept urging the horse to go faster.
Liang Wanyi followed closely behind him, silently praying in her heart.
I hope that Fucha Peiyun and the others will be safe and sound.
Meanwhile, the battle between Fucha Peiyun, Nian Shilan, Princess Shuhe, and the wolf pack has entered a fierce stage.
Fucha Peiyun's archery skills were incredibly accurate; every arrow hit its mark, and he felled several wolves in succession.
Nian Shilan and Princess Shuhe were equally formidable, their arrows hitting the mark with unerring accuracy.
Their arrows rained down, and wolves fell one by one howling.
However, the wolf pack was simply too numerous, and when provoked, they became exceptionally ferocious.
New wolves keep joining the fight, and the situation remains dire.
Following Fucha Peiyun's command, the guards formed a tight formation.
Holding spears and scimitars, he protected his three masters in the middle.
Although they were well-trained, they gradually began to struggle under the fierce attacks of the wolf pack.
Several wolves had broken through the outer perimeter of the formation and were approaching the inner side.
Upon seeing this, Fucha Peiyun quickly drew the curved sword from her waist, preparing for close combat.
She shouted, "Everyone, stay calm! Don't panic!"
To catch the thief, first catch the king; Fucha Peiyun loosened the reins of his horse.
He lightly kicked the horse's back and then stepped on the shoulders of two guards.
Using the momentum, it leaped into the air and landed steadily in front of a large alpha wolf.
The scimitar in her hand flashed a cold light in the sunlight, instantly slicing across the alpha wolf's neck.
The alpha wolf let out a shrill scream, blood gushed out, and it collapsed to the ground.
When the alpha wolf fell, the other wolves were thrown into disarray.
Taking this opportunity, Fucha Peiyun shouted loudly:
"Press your advantage and strike!"
The guards were greatly encouraged and, together with Nian Shilan and Princess Shuhe, launched a fierce counterattack against the wolf pack.
Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar; it turned out that Hongchang and his men had arrived.
Seeing that Fucha Peiyun and the others were safe and sound, Hongchang finally felt relieved.
He shouted and joined the battle.
Military generals such as Nian Gengyao, Fu Heng, and Yue Zhongqi also took action.
Their martial arts skills were superb, and they quickly wiped out the remaining wolves.
After the battle, Hongchang rushed to Fucha Peiyun's side and asked with concern:
"Empress Mother, Nian Mother, and Sister Shuhe, are you all alright?"
Fucha Peiyun smiled and shook her head:
"It was just a close call."
Nian Shilan waved her hand and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I am fine."
Princess Shuhe smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, we are all fine."
Hongchang breathed a sigh of relief, smiled slightly, and said...
"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."
Hongchang nodded, looked at the guards, and said:
"Everyone has worked hard today. If it weren't for your brave protection, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
I will certainly reward you handsomely.
Upon hearing this, the guards all knelt down and bowed, saying:
"Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty!"
Hongchang then looked at the chief eunuch Zhang Hude.
"Go and investigate what happened today."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hude quickly replied:
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will investigate immediately!"
Hongchang nodded and said:
"We must find out who was so reckless as to drive the wolves here."
If anyone did this intentionally, I will not let them off lightly!
Zhang Hude quickly replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly!"
After saying that, he hurriedly left to investigate the matter.
By this time, it was gradually getting dark. Hongchang said:
"Everyone's tired today, let's go back to the camp and rest for a bit."
That evening, I will host a banquet to celebrate everyone's victory and also to soothe their emotions.
Everyone nodded in agreement, although today's hunting activity was...
The wolf pack's attack interrupted the attack, but thankfully everyone was safe and sound.
Moreover, he received a reward from the emperor, which can be considered a blessing in disguise.
Back in the tent, everyone got busy.
The guards prepared the game, getting ready for the victory feast that evening.
The eunuchs were busy setting up the banquet venue and arranging tables, chairs, bowls, and chopsticks;
The palace maids were busy preparing all sorts of delicious food and fine wines.
Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan led Princess Shuhe and the others back to their tent, where they changed out of their riding attire.
The servants around him had already prepared bathing and toiletries.
They could also wash away the dust from their bodies.
When Liang Wanyi returned to the tent, she found that Yongding, Yonglian, and Yongjue, who had been playing, were already asleep.
With a smile still on her face, Liang Wanyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Liang Wanyi gently covered them with blankets.
He asked the palace maid who was specifically responsible for watching over the triplets:
"How long have the princess and the princes been sleeping?"
The palace maid answered softly:
"Your Majesty, the three young ladies have been sleeping for half an hour and are sleeping very soundly."
Liang Wanyi said, "Go fetch a basin of warm water. You've been sleeping for so long..."
They should get up too, lest they be sleepy when they walk at night.
The palace maid quickly responded and soon brought a basin of warm water, placing it by the bedside.
Liang Wanyi gently dampened the handkerchief.
She carefully wiped the little faces of Yongding, Yonglian, and Yongjue, her movements gentle and meticulous.
She said softly:
"Little ones, it's time to wake up, or you won't be able to sleep tonight."
Yongding was the first to open his eyes, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
Upon seeing Liang Wanyi, she immediately flashed a cute smile and said in a childish voice:
"Mother, you're back. Yongding missed you."
Hearing Yongding's words, Liang Wanyi felt a warmth in her heart.
Gently picked her up, kissed her cheek, and whispered:
"Mother also misses Yongding. Is my little darling sleeping well?"
Yongding nodded, his eyes sparkling:
"Yongding slept very well, dreaming that he was riding a horse with his mother."
Liang Wanyi smiled, then looked at Yonglian and Yongjue, wiping their faces as she did so.
He called out softly:
"Yonglian, Yongjue, wake up, your mother is back."
Upon hearing Liang Wanyi's voice, Yonglian and Yongjue slowly opened their eyes, rubbing them and muttering:
"Mother, we want to sleep more."
Liang Wanyi gently patted them and said:
"Sweetie, you can't sleep anymore, or you won't be able to sleep tonight."
Yonglian rubbed his eyes, yawned, and said:
"Alright, Mother."
Yongjue nodded in agreement, and although somewhat reluctant, he sat up.
After the mother and her children finished washing up, Liang Wanyi asked someone to bring them potato rice, which was the triplets' favorite dish.
Let them eat something to fill their stomachs
Only then did they leave the camp to attend the victory celebration banquet that evening.
The celebration banquet was a lively and bustling affair.
The torches illuminated the entire area as if it were daytime, and the crowd was filled with laughter and joy, creating a lively atmosphere.
As soon as Liang Wanyi appeared with Yongding, Yonglian, and Yongjue, she attracted everyone's attention.
Hongchang smiled and waved for them to come over. The triplets skipped and hopped towards Hongchang.
They chattered away about the funny things that happened in their dreams.
When Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan saw the adorable triplets, they couldn't help but smile and told them to sit down quickly.
